Shadow of the Day (Wolf Moon Sequel)

Chapter 15: Sunlight

"Everybody...rock your body...everybody rock your body right, backstreets back alright!" Mirah, Dakota and I all sang together as we danced around our room and unpacked.

The room was quite large, with two beds that were side by side with a small night table in between, and two lamps bolted to the wall above it. The floor was a beige carpet and the comforters on the bed were a nice green color. We had a mini fridge, a microwave, a safe, a closet, one bathroom complete with a bath/shower, sink, toilet, and vanity.

And since we were three in a room with two beds we decided we'd take turns with the sleeping arrangements. Tonight Dakota and Mirah would sleep together while I slept alone in the other bed, tomorrow I'd sleep with Mirah while Dakota slept alone, the day after Mirah would sleep alone while I slept with Dakota and so on.

"Oh my God we're back again. Brothers, sisters, everybody sing," I jumped up onto my bed with my stolen hairbrush, "Gonna bring the flavour, show you how. Got a question for you better answer now."

"Am I original?" Mirah hopped onto her bed while I jumped down.

"Yeah!" Dakota and I exclaimed.

"Am I the only one?" Dakota sang.

"Yeah!" Mirah and I cried.

"Am I sexual?" I struck a pose and they both burst out laughing.

"Yeah!" they laughed and shouted, "Am I everything you need you better rock your body now!"

We kept singing and dancing and laughing as we went around the room until there was a knock on the door. I sashayed up to the door, still singing and dancing as I opened it.

"Am I sexual?" I sang and then my mouth fell open when the door opened to Mrs. Stern. "Er...hey?" I said, cheeks burning.

"Hello Miss Silver. Having fun?" she asked, but there was no humor in her voice.

"Um...yes," I tugged on a strand of my hair.

"Hey Lila! Who's at the door? One of the boys? Oh my God is there a hot guy there?" Mirah giggled as she popped up beside me. I saw the grin on her face fall before it was back up again, only more forced this time. "Hi Mrs. Stern. What brings you here?"

"There have been some new arrangements. You girls will receive another room mate for the week," she said curtly.

"Okay...who is it?" I frowned as Dakota came up behind me.

Roxanne appeared behind Mrs. Stern and all three of our jaws nearly hit the ground.

Three werewolves rooming with one vampire? Oh yeah, this trip was going to be real fun.

"This won't be a problem, will it?" Mrs. Stern said, now sounding as if she was amusing herself greatly with a smirk on her face.

Psycho teacher.

"No it won't," I said with forced cheer and I could see Dakota and Mirah were even less thrilled about the idea of a new room mate.

"Good. We'll see you downstairs in about four hours for breakfast," she said before she left.

Roxanne came in, a scowl on her face as she headed straight into the washroom and all but slammed the door shut behind her.

I sighed and closed the door to our room. Well great. I had to sleep with Roxanne...probably for a week too since I doubt the girls would want to. Not that I want too either but still.

We all wandered around our room having lost our previous excitement, but we still played Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls only on a lower volume so it was more like background noise. Once we were all unpacked, which took about another five minutes since we'd almost been finished before the interruption we all decided to take a nap before heading down to breakfast. I'd read my watch wrong; it hadn't been five. It had been three; I guess I was too tired to pay attention to the hands on my watch. Oh well.
